Wednesday's Manchester United stories from other newspapers and websites

United legendPaul Scholes - an 11-time Premier League winner - reckons the club should stick with David Moyes as manager.

Speaking on Sky Sports the former England midfielder gave his opinion that the United board must back their manager.

"You have to," said Scholes. "He's only nine months into the job. You have to stand by him.

"OK, he's made a couple of signings that haven't quite worked out yet, as he would have liked.

"In the summer, he's going to need backing - there's no doubt about that. Was he backed as well as he could have been last summer? I'm not too sure. But this summer, he has to be backed - and I think he knows he needs players."

According to reports in France, United defender Patrice Evra will leave the club on a free transfer this summer and decide between former side Monaco and Italian duo Inter Milan and Juventus as his next port of call.

The left-back , 33, is out of contract at Old Trafford in a few months, and according to Le10 Sport fancies a return to his homeland - which would make Principality club Monaco front runners for his signature.

A report in the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport reckons that Moyes could miss out on left-back target Fabio Coentrao for the second summer transfer window running - thanks to a former player.

The Real Madrid and Portugal defender is out of favour at the Santiago Bernabeu, and it's reckoned that Carlo Ancelotti is happy to let him leave this summer.

But according to reports in Italy, the ex-Chelsea and PSG boss will offer Coentrao to Juventus - as he ramps up his interest in French international midfielderPaul Pogba - a former United midfielder.

Pogba's standing across Europe has soared since he left Old Trafford for Turin, and he's been heavily linked with a summer move to both PSG and Real.

And Madrid are hoping that €40million + Coentrao will get them their man.
